The present invention relates to chemically bonded ceramic biomaterials, especially a dental material or an implant material. The main binder system forms a chemically bonded ceramic upon hydration thereof, and comprises powdered calcium aluminate and/or calcium silicate, and phase(s) to secure apatite formation at a pH close to neutrality. A second binder system—a cross-linking organic binder system which provides for initial crosslinking of the freshly mixed paste is advantageously added. The invention relates to a powdered composition for preparing the inventive chemically bonded ceramic biomaterial, and a paste from which the biomaterial is formed, as well as a kit comprising the powdered composition and hydration liquid, as well as methods and use of the biomaterial in dental and implant applications with the aim of remineralisation, integration and bone repair.
